Piano Quartet in D major (1785)

Biamonti 12, WoO 36, #2
I didn't find anything particularly memorable or interesting about this Piano Quartet, the second of the three WoO 36 quartets. It does have some special moments a la Schumann at the ends of some of its movements, notably the pizzicati at the end of the second movement, but that's all that stands out from the generally pedestrian. The Rondo seems more assured, but it is ridiculous to make a statement like that at this stage in the boy's career.
